Associations between WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein-1 (WISP-1) genetic polymorphisms and clinical aspects of rheumatoid arthritis among Chinese Han subjects.

ABSTRACT: This study genotyped blood samples from 214 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 293 healthy controls for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2977537, rs2929970, rs2929973, rs2977530, rs1689334 and rs62514004. We want to investigate whether the SNPs in the WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein 1 (WISP-1) gene may increase the risk of developing RA. We showed that RA disease was more likely with the AA genotype compared with the AG genotype of SNP rs2977537 (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 0.54; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.34-0.84), and with the TT genotype (AOR: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.13-0.39) or the GG genotype (AOR: 0.05; 95% CI: 0.03-0.10) compared with the GT genotype of rs2929973, and with the AA genotype (AOR: 0.34; 95% CI: 0.22-0.54) or GG genotype (AOR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.31 to
